درباره این اپیزود
While scrolling through Facebook, I came across Charles Mathewes’ Washington Post article, “White Christianity is in big trouble. And it’s its own biggest threat.” At first reading, I was infuriated at what I felt were unfair criticisms, but after I thought about it, I realized what an opportunity this article presented. It collects together no less than thirteen criticisms against Christianity. In this episode Dan Fitzsimmons, Rose Rider, and I (Sean Finnegan) respond to the first seven, including:
- Our society’s war on Christmas bothers Christians
- A Christian baker refused to sell a cake for a gay wedding
- 80% of white evangelicals in Alabama voted for a pedophile
- We’re ignorant of history
- We’re ignorant of the current state of the world
- We’re ignorant about scientific knowledge
- We’re surprisingly ignorant about our own religion
